I've been trying to get into the habit of writing more often, and have found that a good way to do that is to sketch your characters.

I wrote a "Weird West" short story a while back about a cowboy in purgatory, and ended up throwing it out. I liked my premise, though, and decided to rewrite it, and change a few things I thought didn't work.

This is the figure that stalks the main character through the endless purgatory desert.

The coffee was brewing, the sunlight pouring through the window. I was beginning to forget my splitting headache.

No mug. Classy plastic cup of coffee is classy.

After listening to some music from Homestuck (the greatest thing the internet has ever produced), and a few other tracks I was finally ready to leave my room, and no longer wished to kill everything producing noise.

Nothing about this went well.Laugh at this and the fact that I now need an extra keyboard to type.

Evan Wilson is a pretty ok guy who is currently not very laid back due to the fact that he must now bring his laptop to the macstore. Again. When he isn't making poor decisions while being filmed, he is probably making them while not being filmed.

Tonight, I watched the mid-season premiere of NBC's new Thursday night comedy block line-up. Watch this video, in which I talk about the newest episode of Community.
